The Life Of Luther (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169334939)

The Life of Luther by Julius Koestlin is a comprehensive biography of the German theologian and religious reformer, Martin Luther. The book covers Luther's entire life, from his birth in 1483 to his death in 1546, and provides a detailed account of his theological development, his role in the Protestant Reformation, and his impact on European history. Koestlin explores Luther's upbringing, education, and early career as a monk, as well as his famous 95 Theses, which challenged the Catholic Church's practice of selling indulgences. The book also delves into Luther's translation of the Bible into German, his theological debates with other reformers, and his political and social influence in Germany. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, The Life of Luther is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the Reformation, or the life and legacy of Martin Luther.Luther had now become possessed with a burning desire to refute, by means of the truth he had newly learned, the teaching and system of that School-theology on which he himself had wasted so much time and labour, and by which he saw that same truth darkened and obstructed. He first attacked Aristotle, the heathen philosopher from whom this theology, he said, received its empty and perverted formalism, whose system of physics was worthless, and who, especially in his conception of moral life and moral good, was blind, since he knew nothing of the essence and ground of true righteousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
